[Alex Gore]

when i try to start webrick i get this message

/easyhtmlserver:12: syntax error, unexpected tASSOC, expecting kEND
ort => 80
^
/easyhtmlserver:14: syntax error, unexpected tASSOC, expecting kEND
ort => 801
^
/easyhtmlserver:11: warning: found = in conditional, should be ==
/easyhtmlserver:16: syntax error, unexpected tSYMBEG, expecting ')'
ocumentRoot => "/home/" + $home + "/easyhtml/" + $pro
^
/easyhtmlserver:17: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting kEND
/easyhtmlserver:28: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting kEND

this is my code

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

#require the libaries
require 'webrick'
include WEBrick

#make the class
class EasyHTMLServer
def initalize
s = HTTPServer.new(
if $port = 80
ort => 80
else
ort => 801
end
ocumentRoot => "/home/" + $home + "/easyhtml/" + $pro
)
end
end

#declare the varibles
$home = ARGV[0]
$pro = ARGV[1]
$port = ARGV[2]

#load the server
EasyHTMLServer.new

This should work:

#make the class
class EasyHTMLServer
def initalize
s = HTTPServer.new(
(if $port = 80
ort => 80
else
ort => 801
end),
ocumentRoot => "/home/" + $home + "/easyhtml/" + $pro
)
end
end

But that code is pretty nasty to look at.

Ben

This should work:

Sorry, ignore me. I just re-read the post and noticed the problems with with
hash arguments too. Not sure how you solve this.

s = HTTPServer.newPort => $port == 80 ? 80 : 801, ocumentRoot => 'etc...')

Yikes!

Are people really so adverse to creating simple methods that describe
intent? (They also make testing easier )

# Pick a name that makes sense if this is not a good one ...
def default_port default=801
$port == 80 ? 80 : default
end

s = HTTPServer.new ort => default_port, ocumentRoot => 'etc...'
